The Winter War... The Finnish intermediate defense line is broken in some places by Soviet tank attacks.

From Stockholm... King Gustav announces his support for his government's decision to refuse Finland military aid. He says: "from the first hour I informed Finland that she unfortunately could not count on military intervention from Sweden."

In Berlin... Hitler orders more rapid progress with Operation Weserubung, the codename for the invasion of Norway and Denmark.
